Nephele 9 contemporary fairy

In this episode Robin Wight attempts the bob haircut he mentioned in the design video.
Back in the 16th century is was very common for people to believe in fairies, but they didn’t think they were eight inches tall, necessarily good or even sporting wings. For instance, if a baby was born with physical or mental defects, people referred to them as changelings and claimed that fairies had replaced them. Fairies were magical but were feared as more malevolent beings.
In was in the early 1900’s, probably as a result of the Peter Pan story, that the pretty little friendly female magic being became the common image of a fairy. It was about the same time that the Cottingley fairy photos hit the headlines and took the world by storm. This new image persisted for some time and when Disney released the animated film of Peter Pan in 1953, Tinkerbell cemented that image as the de-facto description of a fairy into the worlds psyche.
I’m happy to go along with the magical female bit and even the force for good, but I’d like to promote a new, more contemporary image of a fairy: Fairies can be delicate, feminine with whimsical character traits who collect dandelion seeds and grant wishes for humans. I love making these characters, but they can also be strong sexy action heroes that exist to protect the world from evil.

Gorgeous! I actually started trying out wire sculpting with your tutorials using recycled copper wires and I've done some very pretty dandelions out of those ❤️ So thank you.

Very happy to see how you worked it all out. I was thinking of the styles used in anime that would possibly render well in metal. What you did reminds me of that. Excellent!

I’m currently making a bust of someone with red hair. The hair is curly, so it should be much easier.
